Caryl Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 They don't tend to eat too many fry and are easy to breed. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 What did they cost LB.? Prices vary throughought the country, up here they can reach $4, a bit steep. I met a breeder while at Napier, he told me he had got up to $1.75 from the shops. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_au Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Good Grief !! Surely not standard White Clouds??? I used to have a big pond full (12foot dia, 3 foot deep) and used to donate bags full to the frog clubs around Brisbane. They were only worth $25 / 100 selling to the LFS. Aside from the standard, there are Longfinned, Gold, and Gold Lined white clouds available here for less than $4. It never ceases to amaze me the disparity in prices between Aus and NZ. You guys can get catfish at 1/10th the price we pay, but other things are so much more expensive. White clouds are so easy to breed and grow I would be setting a side a few tanks for them at that price. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylefish02 Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 no alan_au i think LB just got ripped off they are usually only $1 each ye i heared of a lady paying AUS$40 just for a normal pleco and AUS$60 for a chocolate one now thats ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Our club members usually give white clouds away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I'd love to get some for $1 a piece, I dunno where you're getting them retail for that because the cheapest I've seen them for is about $3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 well in that case if they were only a $1 ea i could have 25 instead of 6!! bit pissed off now!! Cheers Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
